These guys used to be insane back then, winning their duels, great strats & calls, what happened and how can we fix that
Tenn has proved in the past that he can pop off on the raze, and did really well on it in Iceland. I think it's worth noting that ever since Reykjavik zeta's only losses have been to what most people would consider best teams in the world in loud, fnc, drx, and Lev who are really good. (Plus two loses to tln and nth). The real issue seems to be that when dep is playing Jett, their duelist isn't as consistent, and their starts don't have a ton of depth to them. My suggestion would be move dep to Perma sentinel role or pick up something or another duelist to replace him.
okay hear me out. Japan need to hold an emergency blue lock tournament. Get their top 300 players in both tier 1 and tier 2 scene/rank games. Give them a series of tests to test mechanics, movement, aim, crosshair placement, trades, and utility usage. Make them play 5v5. The top 5 players form a team and dominate Valorant Masters tokyo lan and Champions....
They've never been the same after TENNN's eyes injury tbh. Dep isn't that consistent too imo. Not to say after Chamber's nerf, Laz moves to Killjoy (he's okay with that but less firepower unlike Laz Chamber). SugarZ3ro is doing God's work even though he's IGLing for the first time and crow... maybe they need to replace him for real. I don't really know how's their chemistry if Barce (their 6th man) joins in though.
-crow (move him to coaching)
-TENNN (i can't believe it, but his time is done)
+Thiefy (sentinel)
Or if possible: swap TENNN for Xnfri from DFM.
I would get SyouTa but his roles clashes with SugarZ3ro.
IF CR isn't an option:
+CLZ (main duelist, move Dep to flex)
If CR is an option:
+Meiy (main duelist, move Dep to flex)
So roles would be:
Laz - Initiator
SugarZ3ro - Controller
Dep/Xnfri (if swap deal) - Flex
Thiefy - Sentinel
CLZ/Meiy/Dep (if swap deal) - Duelist
Soo good back then? How? That was flukest and luckiest run of the century. Infact they couldn't even qualify for the next tourney.
They need to replace crow and get tenn of duelist and sentinels. Dep is just a shit jett, his consistency is not even on par with even inconsistent players like keloqz, fitinho.
